[quote=“eXemplar, post:15, topic:328973”][quote author=Cowie` link=topic=425358.msg3124047#msg3124047 date=1265845656]I attempted to make a topic and it got instantly deleted, so either they have alerted their staff to the issue and told them no-quaters on topics that are based upon this finding, or they have added a blacklist about the situation.
As for the blackmark nexto their name - I sort of feel for them about that but oh well, their greed got the better of them in the long run and lets hope it is soon to happen to Qauters too. It would truely be the best news if it was the case.[/quote]
Yeah, it’s probably the best thing to do re: deleting anything relating to legal matters. Short of consulting a lawyer over each post, anything they leave there could potentially be used against them.
As far as greed goes, for sure. Only an idiot thinks they can profit off other peoples work and get away with it forever, especially a large company with the financial backing jagex has.
It would be different if they were respected among the rs botting communities and they could rally support the same way glider did in wow, but to my knowledge everyone thinks they’re imbeciles.[/quote]
The deletion of everything is one of the terms in the full brief - They have to hand over anything containing source code or relating to Impulse Software for destruction, which unluckily for eric and mark also means his servers which he sells hosting from.
The greed aspect is a definate large aspect, they were not happy with Affiliation and Ad money as other bots are - He decided to resell the bot with specific scripts for upto $30 per script and that was probably his most foolish move. Releasing the bot freely is obviously going to have some issues but it is by far not as bad as using it for reselling purposes and making direct money from it. (Read as creating income from it rather than recieving donations).
They are not respected, and I dont think they ever have been. Eric thinks he is the start and the end of cheating because of his bot, and he thinks it is superior to all that is out there. Not to mention he’s quite a laughing stock because of his naming and his OMG KILLER-99-PKZ IS SEMAPHORE PSB KAITS-like conspiracy theories.
